Shenzhen Party is all about events: what is happening in and around the fast-growing metropolis of Shenzhen.

The numerous, up-to-date events are laid out with images and brief descriptions, and are categorized as either Upcoming or Regular. One of the main featured events is the wine and cheese club which is sponsored largely by SZ Party. A great feature, under the events header as well, is the photo gallery section, displaying high-res, updated pictures from the most recent functions. These are sorted by date and event name and are well organized.

SZ Party is not strictly limited to events and nightlife. The apartment rental section is a good resource as it details locations by district, cost and contact details and can put prospective renters in touch with landlords/owners directly. The Guide to Shenzhen is also useful and contains a great number of articles, featuring topics such as business etiquette in China, choosing a nanny (“ayi”), Shenzhen business hours, getting a driver’s license, banking security, local festivals and traditions, and many more. There are also articles on local tourist attractions, a coffee shop guide, nightlife information, and handy little write-up on taxi costs to different districts. One thing to bear in mind is that many of the articles were written in 2011 and China is one of the most rapidly changing countries in the world.
